Sum\ of\ angles\ in\ triangle\ is\ equal\ to\ 180^(\circ)\\\\ To\ find\ x\ sum\ all\ angles:\\ 2x+x-45+x-15=180\\\\ 4x-60=180\ \ \ |Add\ 60\\\\ 4x=60+180\\\\ 4x=240\ \ \ |Divided\ by\ 4\\\\ x=60^(\circ)\\\\ \angle \ A=2x=2*60=120^(\circ)\\ \angle\ B=x-45=60-45=15^(\circ)\\ \angle\ C=x-15=60-15=45^(\circ)\\\\Triangle\ is\ \textbf{obtuse}.
